Sonoran Science Academy - Tucson

When my child first started attending this school she was excelling academically. Kindergarten and first grade teachers encourage the children to excel and communicate well with parents. After that they expect the children to function as adults. The teachers give so much homework and put a lot of the grade on things that the parent not the child is doing, like how papers are typed. My child is getting burned out and loosing interest in school. When I look at my friends kids that go to public schools they are learning the same information but with out the homework. I think that the teachers are not focusing on the child as a whole. I am hoping my child can finish the school year with out to much more damage being done to her spirit.

They have a great Math program. they keep getting the first place awards at MATHCOUNTS for several years at the state level. This school has been serving the best MATH education in all ARIZONA. There is no school can beat them at the math competitions. They are MATH monsters...

Despite small glitches along the way, this school really tries hard and cares about doing the best for every kid. My kids are happy and flourishing in this environment. I feel confident that they will benefit throughout life from attending this school. The extras this school offers are unique and as individual as this school is. The teachers are dedicated and it shows in the success of the students.

We love this school! We had a very bad experience with another charter school so I was apprehensive in sending the kids to another one. We have been pleasantly surprised at SSA. The kids are challenged and love the after school clubs. My older daughter is in volleyball and they won the championship this year! The school has a wonderful atmosphere where the students, parents and staff are polite and respectful.

SSA provides students with a well rounded education in the core academics and in the fine arts. The administration is supportive and receptive to new ideas. Our school is a 'family'. We care about each other and especially our students so they are successful in their academics, and extra-curriculars in preparation for their future. We provide a safe learning environment which enables students to grow and excel in a well rounded educational setting, knowing their teachers care.

The teachers seem to love what they are doing instead of just doing a job. Kids are here for education not to party etc. so everyone has goals for the future. Good staff, good teachers, good parents, good kids, makes for a happy face.

They challenge our son to work harder and learn more than any public school could. He will be better prepared for college and beyond with the skills he develops at Sonoran Science Academy.

Because the teachers really care about our education and the classes are really challenging. For me, I love how everyone knows everyone else and there's really no cliques here.
